TTC Workers Walk off the Job

Toronto Transit Commission union workers failed to ratify the contract settlement agreed upon with the TTC last Sunday, April 20. With 65% of the union voting against the settlement, all TTC buses, streetcars and subways halted service at midnight on Saturday morning, stranding many people out on the town on Friday night.
